UEFA’s top 25 clubs by coefficient rankings

“Manchester United, Chelsea, Tottenham and Manchester City are all confirmed to take part in this year's group stage”

The governing body’s coefficient rankings system is based on results over five seasons in both the Champions League and Europa League.

Clubs gain points for winning matches and get more for success in the knockout rounds rather than the group stage, and more for the Champions League, rather than the Europa League.

Teams also benefit with 20 per cent of their association’s coefficient over the previous five years - so sides from countries with a track record of European success benefit, even if they haven’t contributed themselves.

Tomorrow sees the draw for the 2017/18 Champions League group stage at 5pm in Monaco, with Manchester United, Chelsea, Tottenham and Manchester City all in the hat.

They will be joined by Liverpool, should the Reds overcome Hoffenheim in tonight’s second leg of their play-off.

They go into the game at Anfield with a slender advantage leading 2-1 on aggregate.

Real Madrid have won the Champions League in both of the last two seasons but where do they sit on the list and which Premier League outfit is leading the way?
